A sTONIsHING SUCCESS.

1t Is the duty of every person who
has used BosHEE's GERMAN SYRUP to
let its wonderful qualities be known
to their friends in curing Consump
tion, severe Coughs, Group, Asthma,
Pneumonia, and in fact all throat
and lung diseases. No person can
use it without immediate relief.
Three doses will relieve any case,
and we consider it the duty of all
Druggists to recommend it to the
poor, dying eonsumptlve, at least to
try one bottle, as $4,000 dozen bot
ties were sold last year, and no one
case where it failed were reported.
such a medicine as the GERMAN SYR-
up cannot be too widely known. Ask
your druggist about it. Sample bot
ties to try, sold at 10 cents. Regu-
lar size. 70 cents. Sold by all Drug
gists and Dealers, in the United

Gift Service.

According to the announcement the

night. After the announcement was
made there was considerable inquiry as
to what was meant by gift service.
Some one asked if the ladies intended
to give presents to the congregation?
Whereupon one of our bachelor friends
suggested that it might be possible
that some of their own number would
be given away, and in that event, he
wanted to be. We have not heard from
him since. However, when the con-

which were thoroughly enjoyable, be-

CRIMES AND CASUALTIES.

Frank Lghtfoot living eighteen miles
southwest of Marion, Ind, mistook his aged
mother for burglar and shot and killed her.
Jerry White, the negro who assaulted
respectable German woman at Valen tine, Neb,
the other day, and sought to escape on stock
train, was captured at Long Pine and jailed at
Valentine. The incensed citizens formed a
mob Saturday evening, the Goth, broke into
the Jail, secured White and hung him to a
tree White at first denined the crime, but as the
rope frightened about his neck he owned up to
the henious offense and plead for mercy, bQt
to no effect This is the first hanging that
ever took place in Cherry county.
The trial of Assistant Surgeon Crawford,
charged with criminal intimacy with Eva
White, of Washington, D. G, terminated IN
the police court the other afternoon. When
the prosecuting attorney finished his argyll
ment, Judge Harper. to the surprise of every
lady present, at once disposed of the case by
finding Crawford guilty on two informations,
charging fornication on the ID and 9Th of July
last. He said the sentence would be ono year
in jail-six months for each count. An ap-
peal was noted and the case will be carried to
the criminal court This case has excited I'M
common interest in Washington, both on &C
count of the novelty of the proceedings in the
police court, under what is known as the Utah
law, and the high social standing of the de-
PENDANT, an officer in the navy and of hitherto
unblemished reputation The decision of
the higher court will BIO be awaited with great
interest
Wessington Springs herald. (Wessington Springs, Aurora County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1891, 1887-09-02
Prospective Lawsuits.

The pecuniary loss arising from the
Chatsworth accident is simply enormous.
Under the laws of Illinois the rela-
lives of those killed in the dis
aster will, if they have any claim at all,
deplete the treasury Of the Toledo,
Peoria and Warsaw of something like
$3.50, 200, and those injured would receive
at least $3.50, 1000 more. 1t might be lust as
we'll, at this juncture, to recite some of the
vlcissitu des Of the road as illustrating
its condition. In 1850 it was leased
to the Wabash, and when that road drifted
into the hands of q receiver, the trustees
for the holders of the first mort gage bonds
of the Toledo, Peoria and Warsaw took
possession of the road. Proceedings to
foreclose this particular mortgage were
had, and in October, 1856, the road was
brought to sale. It was bought in for the
benefit of the holders of the first
mortgage bonds. A new company was
organized, which took possession July /.
1887. The name of the road was for some
reason or other changed from the To-
ledo, Peoria and Warsaw Railroad Com
psny TO the Toledo, Peoria and Western
hallway Company. The new corporation
is realizing from $4,000 to SIS 200 ner
month on the road. Should the CORPORA -
ton be held guilty of negligence, and
therefore at fault for the accident, the GEN
tiemen who only six weeks ago bought in
the property to save themselves will be
confronted with claims aggregatine little
less than million of dollars. This, of
course, simply means bankruptcy,
